Rama Gita Govindam is a piece of Sanskrit poetry written by Kavi Jayadeva in circa 16th century CE. From the lyrical tradition of Jayadeva,
Rama-Gita-Govindam is yet another lyrical work designated for singing.
Rama-Gita-Govindam was composed circa the 16th century CE. The name of the poet
is Jayadeva, but this Jayadeva is not a 12th-century poet. This Jayadeva is
some other poet with a similar name, belonging to the 16th century CE. This
Jayadeva was a resident of Mithila and was a celebrated poet in the royal
court. He was well-versed in traditional Vedic literature and philosophy. Being
an ardent devotee of Shri Rama, he composed Rama-Gita-Govindam, a sweet lyrical
piece in praise of Shri Rama. Being from the same tradition as Gita Govindam,
this poetic work has many compositional similarities.

Pandit Prabhat Sastri has edited the book with commentary of Hanuman Tripathi. The book was originally published in 1974 from Prayag by Deva-Bhasha-Prakashanam.
